Read the excerpt from The Iliad of Homer."Ah me, this is a man beloved whom now my eyes watchbeing chased around the wall; my heart is mourning for Hektorwho has burned in my honour many thigh pieces of oxenon the peaks of Ida with all her folds . . .”

The speaker refers to Hektor as someone who has burned offerings “in my honour.” Those offerings were sacrifices to a god, and the speaker is Zeus, who is watching Hektor being chased around the wall. So the speaker is a god.
